The 4th International Conference on Natural Computation
The 5th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery
25-27 August 2008, Jinan, China
Call for Papers & Invited Session Proposals
The 4th International Conference on Natural Computation (ICNC'08) and the 5th International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD'08) will be jointly held in Jinan, China. Jinan is the capital of Shandong Province, which is known for the home of Confucius, the Taishan Mountain, and the Baotu Spring. ICNC'08-FSKD'08 aims to provide an international forum for scientists and researchers to present the state of the art of intelligent methods inspired from nature, including biological, ecological, and physical systems, with applications to data mining, manufacturing, design, and more. It is an exciting and emerging interdisciplinary area in which a wide range of techniques and methods are being studied for dealing with large, complex, and dynamic problems. Previously, the joint conferences in 2005, 2006 and 2007 each attracted over 3000 submissions from more than 30 countries.
All accepted papers will appear in conference proceedings published by the IEEE and will be indexed by both EI (Compendex) and ISTP. Furthermore, extended versions of selected papers will be published in a special issue of Soft Computing: An International Journal (SCI indexed).
Submissions of papers describing original work in, but not limited to, the following topics are enthusiastically encouraged.

Prospective authors are invited to submit manuscripts written in English. All submissions will be peer-reviewed by experts in the field based on originality, significance, quality and clarity. Authors should use the Latex style files or MS-Word templates obtained from the conference site to format their papers. Authors should submit pdf files of their manuscripts via the.
To promote international participation of researchers from outside the country/region where the conference is held (i.e., China), foreign experts are encouraged to propose invited sessions. Each invited session should have at least 4 papers. Invited session organizers will solicit submissions, conduct reviews and recommend accept/reject decisions on the submitted papers. All invited session organizers will be acknowledged in the conference proceedings. Each invited session proposal should include the following information: (1) the name(s) and contact information of invited session organizer(s); (2) the title and a short synopsis of the invited session. Please send your proposal to the respective Program Co-Chair:
